Your neighbours work in the forests, mines, and fisheries that power this province. Our mayors are standing up to protect those jobs and the companies that help support the health of our communities at large.

RESOURCES SUPPORT OUR PROSPERITY
Families across BC are facing economic uncertainty, and the standard of living in many communities is falling.
Nowhere is this uncertainty felt more than in municipalities where the local economy depends on resource extraction.
The responsible development of our abundant natural resources – forestry, mining, energy, agriculture, seafood – is critical to strengthening our economy and securing a prosperous future for our families and communities.
We owe it to our children and grandchildren to offer the promise of a better future.
WHY DEVELOPMENT MATTERS
Natural resources are at the heart of everything we do in BC. From Vancouver’s office towers to Victoria’s government offices, resource development supports countless private-sector jobs and business opportunities for our families, while generating immense public revenues that fund critical social programs such as healthcare and education – supporting our quality of life at large.
Our universities and colleges train young people for careers in the resource sector. The future of smaller, rural communities is deeply connected to our natural resources.
Advocating for these industries and the communities that rely on them means setting them up for success.
OUR PRIORITIES
The Alliance of Resource Communities is advocating for
- Faster regulatory approvals of responsible natural resource projects
- Effective and coordinated government action in support of natural resource industries, especially those facing external economic threats
- Working constructively with the government partners, First Nations, and the private sector on policy decisions, regulations, and economic initiatives to create jobs and strengthen our communities
- Championing investment in natural resources in BC communities
- Bridging the urban-rural divide when it comes to supporting our natural resource industries
- Celebrating progress and success in advancing resource projects and economic reconciliation with First Nations.
Together, we can champion progress and celebrate the success that comes when natural resource projects are advanced for the good of the environment, the economy, and the province. Because when resource communities succeed, everyone succeeds.
